And then there's the art, tea and cake, the garden and music; in no particular order and with fun … then there will be days when there is no order and or fun. Either way my day posts from the print room, the cafe or the bike (which incidentally is usually parked in the garden when not in use) will be tempered accordingly

Saturday …

While most people have been preparing for Christmas I have had other things on my mind. My printing press now at home has to earn its living. I began with a simple three coloured reduction image. Since my recent workshop the procedure was fresh in my mind. I intend to do a series of lino cuts in this way using different inks and papers. In this way I hope to make some educated decisions when making more sophisticated designs.

For this I used Zerkall paper and the primary colours in Caligo safe wash relief ink.

So while this artist’s proof is not going rock any boats or pay for the press; the little press and little know-how has given me the opportunity to be constructive and have fun!

Good for you. I love your first print. Actually,, I usually do go for the artist’s proof when I buy prints. I like the idea of their being one of a kind and feel they still carry some of that spirit of adventure and the quest the artist goes through in trying to find the final solution. Judy
